Chapter 416: Public Trial!

Without waiting for the wealthy families on the side of Zhang County to react, the Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family, which were deeply rooted in Zhang County, had already taken them all over, and they were escorted to the military academy in an endless stream.

"What's going on?"

Zuo family, after Zuo Yong, the head of the family, learned the news, he couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't care about the gaffe, he stood up suddenly, took a few steps forward, and looked at the housekeeper standing in front of him with his face in disbelief.

"Go home, I don't know the specific situation, before that, there was no rumor, and the people of the emperor's eldest grandson suddenly made a difficulty, surrounding the Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family......"

At this, the old steward took a deep breath, and he had never woken up from the scene he had just seen.

"The Huang family and the Zhang family, obediently tied up and captured, the young master of the Wei family was unwilling to be humiliated, led the dead soldiers and guards in the palace to protect themselves, and tried to confront the emperor's eldest grandson, but they were killed by random arrows, and all the dead soldiers and guards who participated in the confrontation were slaughtered, it is said that the Wei Mansion was full of blood, and the ground was already stained red with blood, and the smell of blood could be smelled from afar......"

Zuo Yong: ......

On the chubby face, the expression is unprecedentedly dignified!

It is one thing for him to curry favor with the eldest grandson of the emperor at any loss of his identity, but it is another thing to let the eldest grandson of the emperor attack the wealthy family of Zhangjun. In a word, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad!

Today, if His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson can take down the Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family without asking any questions, then he may use the same action against himself in the future.

He took a deep breath.

"Take my name thorn, immediately contact the Gao family and the Zhao family, and see if they hear any rumors......"

……

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

With the arrest of the Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family, the entire Zhang County undercurrent surged.

These wealthy families of Zhangjun have all been in Zhangjun for hundreds of years, and some can even be traced back to the period of the first monarch Xiongqu, which is not only deeply rooted in Zhangjun, but also has intertwined relationships with major families.

"The Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family are in trouble, we must not sit idly by, this matter is no longer a matter of one family and one surname, it is already related to the blessings and misfortunes of all families in my Zhang County——"

Speaking of this, Zuo Yong took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Zhi, the head of the Zhao family on the side, with a solemn expression.

Zhao Zhi's face also lost the ease of the previous time.

"The Emperor's eldest grandson is already unparalleled in prestige, fierce and powerful, and he came with His Majesty's sword, and it is impossible to solve the problem by confrontation, but in any case, we should personally ask His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun for an explanation, and we can't let him be unscrupulous and unscrupulous, just take ...... of us."

Hearing Zhao Zhi's words, everyone agreed, even Xing Rang, the head of the Xing family, who was closest to the emperor's eldest grandson, couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Good, just according to the words of the two family heads!"

However, without waiting for them to come to the door, the county guard had already disclosed the charges of the Huang family, the Zhang family, and the Wei family this time.

Collusion with traitors, spreading rumors, and attempting to rebel!

As soon as this crime came out, everyone who had already stepped out of the courtyard of the Zuo family in a rage couldn't help but look at each other and stopped. Although everyone is dissatisfied with the behavior of the emperor's eldest grandson, in front of this hat, everyone has to consider their own actions.

Standing up for the Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family, if one is not good, he may be labeled as colluding and rebellious and set himself on fire!

They did not doubt the determination of this emperor's eldest grandson at all.

The disaster in Changsha County is not far away.

Dozens of families were swept away, hundreds of people were beheaded, tens of thousands of people were sent to Mobei, and hundreds of years of family accumulation were almost swept away!

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that there are still some affairs at home, and I can't get out of it - I'm sorry, the old man will retire first......"

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I also have some things at home, I have to deal with it immediately, farewell, farewell......"

"Oops, I'm suddenly feeling sick to my stomach, guys, I have to go back first......"

“…… Farewell—"

“……”

After a while, the originally aggressive group of people dispersed as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Zuo Yong couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Zhao Zhi with a wry smile.

"Let's talk about this matter in the long run......"

Zhao Zhi also nodded solemnly.

"Let's take a look, according to the style of doing things according to His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, I don't think he will take people out of thin air, since he dares to ignore public opinion and attack our royal family, the Zhang family and the Wei family, he must come up with a convincing reason, otherwise——"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhi sneered.

"Although his emperor's eldest grandson is decisive and invincible, but if he provokes us, he will definitely let him know that Zhang County is the Zhang County of our Zhang County clan after all, not where he Zhao Ying, an outsider, can handle at will, I don't believe it, under the surging public opinion, he really dares to risk the world's condemnation and do something ......to us."

Zuo Yong glanced at Zhao Zhi, who was filled with righteous indignation, and smiled.

"Brother Zhao, you don't have to provoke me with words, I, Zuo Yong, am not those fools of the Wei family, if I am teased with a few words, I will be enthusiastic and do stupid things - if you are dissatisfied, just go and give the emperor's eldest grandson a little color to see, if Brother Zhao really has the courage to do this, my Zuo family will be the only one who will look forward to the ...... from now on."

Zhao Zhi didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Zuo Yong's words, and arched his hand at Zuo Yong as usual.

"Brother Zuo is serious, I, Zhao Zhi, have always been a sincere gentleman, where is what you say so insidious, I just complain about the big guys......"

With that, he turned and walked away very simply.

"Since Brother Zuo doesn't trust the younger brother, then the younger brother will retire first......"

Looking at the back of Zhao Zhi who turned around and left without hesitation, Zuo Yong spat and scolded the old fox secretly. Don't look at this product every day, he looks like he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and has no city, but in fact, this old thing has scheming.

The Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family were arrested, and the major wealthy families in Zhang County collectively lost their voices, but Zhang County had an undercurrent, like a pair of invisible hands pushing behind their backs and guiding public opinion.

The contradiction was deliberately led to the extremely sensitive contradiction between the Qin people and the Chu people. believes that the fall of the Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family is not a collusion and rebellion at all, but the emperor's eldest grandson is taking the opportunity to purge and slaughter the people of Zhang County.

"Your Highness, the public opinion outside is surging, and it is becoming more and more unfavorable to us, and the minister suspects that someone is secretly fueling the troubles......"

Zhang Liang stood in front of Zhao Ying with a respectful expression, reporting the recent public opinion trends of the people in Zhangjun City.

Zhao Ying bowed slightly, his face was as usual, and he said lightly.

"Inform the Zuo County Guard, you can announce the crimes of the three families one after another......"

"No—"

The awe in Zhang Liang's eyes became more and more intense.

He already knew the art of war, bravery, and intelligence of the emperor's eldest grandson, but he didn't expect that the emperor's eldest grandson's grasp of people's hearts and human nature had also reached such a point.

From the brewing before the engagement, to the sudden attack, to the reactions of all parties, almost everything was expected by the emperor's eldest grandson.

The county watchman's house.

Jian Yong looked at the information sent by Captain Shocking himself, and became more and more in awe of the emperor's eldest grandson in his heart. What is this to kill?

This is fundamentally from the roots of Huang, Zhang, and Wei in Zhang County!

"Zhang Fucheng, but what does His Highness command......

Jian Yong saw Zhang Liang come in, and without waiting for Zhang Liang to salute, he took the lead in getting up and greeted him, Zhang Liang stopped and politely bowed in return.

"Liang has seen the ...... of Zuo Jun"

After speaking, he straightened up and said with a smile.

"Zuo Junshou is really like a god, His Royal Highness asked the subordinate to come and inform the county guard, these charges can now be slowly released......"

"Okay, I'll do it—"

Jian Yong immediately got up and was about to go down to make arrangements, but seeing that Zhang Liang did not leave, he immediately stopped and said with a smile.

"Zhang Fucheng has something to advise?"

Zhang Liang shook his head with a smile and arched his hand.

"In front of the county guard Zuo, how dare you say anything, but have a not very mature idea, and want to listen to the county guard......"

Jian Yong arched his hand seriously.

"Zhang Fucheng, please speak, the lower officials listen to ......"

Zhang Liang nodded and said softly.

"If the county guard thinks it is appropriate, he may as well try it in public, and let those sufferers tell the grievances and misfortunes they have suffered over the years......

Jian Yong was stunned at first, and then nodded heavily.

"Good! The lower official will arrange this-"

Just when the public opinion in Zhang County is becoming more and more turbulent, there are already many people, driven by well-intentioned people, who want to gather in front of the county guard mansion to ask for an explanation for the Huang family, the Zhang family and the Wei family.

The county guard suddenly made an earth-shattering decision.

At that time, all the wealthy families in Zhangjun City, as well as the elders with high moral integrity, will be invited to the military academy field, and all the people in the city can go to observe!

Zhao Zhi, who heard the news, was silent for a long time with the wine in his hand, and at the end, he smiled, sighed with emotion, and drank the wine in his hand.

"That emperor's eldest grandson is really a young man, and he is so ruthless......"

After speaking, Shi Shiran lay back on his couch and waved his hand at the beautiful maid beside him.

"Then the music, then the dance—"

"Master, are you really going to go tomorrow?"

The old steward didn't get a clear answer from Zhao Zhi, and asked for another sentence with some uncertainty, Zhao Zhi squinted his eyes slightly, and waved his hand indifferently while enjoying the gentle grip of the beautiful maid beside him.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is invited, how can I not go to ......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his words were inexplicably authentic.

"I not only want to go, but I also have to go early, and strive to be the first guest, in case there is any pie in the sky that will fall on the head of my Zhao family......"

Although the old steward couldn't understand what his master was saying, he understood his master's instructions, and immediately bowed down to prepare.

Left home.

When Zuo Yong got the news, he was stunned at first, and then made almost the same decision as Zhao Zhi, and ordered the eldest son next to him.

"You'll come with me early tomorrow morning—"

Speaking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"You immediately ask the account office to count all the money that can be withdrawn from the family, this time, our Zuo family can't fall behind that surnamed Zhao again......"

The eldest son of the Zuo family went out in a daze.

Looking at his eldest son, Zuo Yong couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Tiger father and dog, if he doesn't take this opportunity to tie the Zuo family and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson together, once he is gone, with his own stupid son, the decline of his own line has almost become inevitable.

……

On the second day, an unprecedented public trial was held in the city of Zhangjun.

On the stage, more than 30 families of famous and promising families in Zhangjun City attended the scene in person, and the audience was crowded with people who heard the news.

Kiss or not, hometown people.

In this era, the degree of regional grouping is far from being imagined by later generations. These people, some of them are simply resistant to the Qin people and the locals of Zhang County, of course, there are also people who simply watch the excitement......

It doesn't matter who it is, as long as Lao Tzu can watch those nobles who used to be high, kneeling on the stage like dogs to be tried, he will be happy!

More people are curious about the so-called crimes of the three families, and want to see what decent evidence this emperor's eldest grandson can come up with, and he dares to try it in public.

Everyone thought that in this public trial, the emperor's eldest grandson would definitely be eager to let people come up with ironclad evidence that the three families colluded and rebelled, but the development of the matter, after a skinny, withered, unkempt hair, and on stage, completely surprised everyone.

Although February in Zhangjun has been mixed with peanut trees and warblers, this woman's clothes are still a little obviously thin, the child she is holding in her arms is still in swaddling clothes, and it is better, and he is followed by several children with bare feet and tattered clothes, and even their bodies can't stop them, but their lips are a little blue from the cold.

As soon as this woman came to the stage, she pulled several children behind her and kowtowed to the emperor's eldest grandson and the county guard Zuo Yong, who were sitting on the stage.

"Nobleman, I want to sue the Wei family, bullying people, forcing my family to sell land, my family's child and his father are unwilling, they were seriously injured on the spot, a few days after returning home, the people are gone, they are even more beaten, saying that when the child and his father were alive, they borrowed their family's debts, and occupied a few acres of good land for my family......"

As she spoke, the woman slammed her head on the table and wept aloud.

A group of family heads on the stage who came to listen couldn't help frowning, although they didn't send anyone to investigate, they also knew that nine times out of ten it was true.

In the past few years, the Wei family has indeed eaten a little ugly.

However, there is no big fluctuation in my heart, right to normal, these big families, the land in the family, are connected, who hasn't used a little means?

But for the people in the audience, it suddenly aroused emotional resonance!

Human nature is to sympathize with the weak, especially the weak, it is easier to cause empathy in this kind of thing, and even many of them are present, or there are many relatives of other people, have had similar experiences, at this time the woman on the stage cried miserably, and suddenly one by one was sad in her heart, and her face showed unbearable expression.

"Wei family, it's really damn ......" (end of this chapter)
